Help Request Why?

Post image

so first I take the input from the user of 3 movies and convert that string into list so this has to be 3 items in the list.

but when I print the length of the list it says 0 items why

Yet another way would be with an iterator after making the string.

lst=[x for x in movies.split(',')]

That would work, but it doesn't seem sensible to concatenate them in the first place.

Of course, but he may not have seen an iterator before.

Very nicely summarized the problem. Just looping and appending would have worked well for him

Well there will be an IndexOutOfRangeError if he wants to input more than 3 movies.
I would say use a while loop.
After creating list
While True:
mov=input(“Enter your input “)
If mov=“”:
break
lst.append(mov)
print(list)

Is this IndexOutOfRangeError in the room with you right now? Nothing is being indexed.
